Everyone, at some point, has to get thru their Worst Possible thing.
Above all, it is testament to the fact that every single person can get thru the Worst Possible Thing and that there is a beacon of light to be found in every story, no matter how harrowing..
It is recognition of the ruthlessness and beauty of life.
With raw blog entries penned during Jim\'s Worst moments and poignant, thoughtful reflections written since their agonizing experience, Getting Thru is a tribute to Kyle\'s courageous, adventurous spirit.

For Jim Williams, that was losing Kyle, his six-year-old son, to cancer.
